BLOGS ON APC
This series of blog posts on MDCEO will provide a detailed description of a model for primary care service delivery that we call Advanced Primary Care. Why Advanced? Because it takes the core principles and practices of whole-person primary care and transforms them into a proactive process that will improve the health of individual patients, especially the most vulnerable, and the population served by a primary care practice. We believe, and evidence supports, that moving from a Fee-for-service payment model to a prospective payment model, especially when it involves full financial risk to the practice, requires a new way of thinking about patients and patient care delivery.
